Abstract
Peri-implant infection is a major threat to dental implant success. This study reports a novel N-halamine polymeric coating on titanium surfaces that provides long-lasting, renewable antibacterial efficacy with good stability and biocompatibility. The coating effectively combats key peri-implant infection bacteria both *in vitro* and *in vivo*, maintaining efficacy for 12-16 weeks. Its antibacterial properties can be renewed through simple rechlorination, offering a promising solution for preventing and treating peri-implant infections.
